But Why Don’t Resolutions Work? | Goal Setting, Burnout & Being Kinder to Ourselves
Manage episode 455982656 series 3608123
It’s our holiday party and we’re breaking down the science (and the BS) of New Year’s resolutions — all while sipping wine, comparing tattoos, and trying not to set anything on fire.
In this festive-but-serious episode, Kristin and Laura explore:
• Why so many resolutions fall apart by February
• How to make goals that actually work for you
• The psychology behind outcome, process, and open goals
• What neurodivergence, shame, and survival mode have to do with “laziness”
• Why self-acceptance — not pressure — is the key to real change
It’s part party, part pep talk, part therapy. Settle in with your weirdest wine glass, grab a snack you love, and remember: you’re not lazy. You’re tired, human, and trying your best.
